Emmerdale : Season 45

Nicola has prepared a special birthday breakfast for Jimmy but he rushes off to work without eating any of it. It's also Noah's birthday. Charity wants to make it special, but Noah isn't interested in any of her suggestions as he believes she's only doing it because of Joe. Laurel can't wrap her head around Rhys being responsible for Ashley's window getting broken.

Brenda lets herself in to Mulberry Cottage. Whilst Laurel talks to Brenda, Bob hides under the table. Brenda asks if Bob's here but Laurel lies she hasn't seen him. Rhys doesn't think he fits in in Emmerdale, and he's not sure he wants to, as he prefers a more urban parish.

Bob and Laurel bump into each other in Main Street as they put their children on the school bus. Bob suggests he and Laurel could go for a walk. Brenda watches as they stroll off together. Priya picks up some last-minute supplies for Eliza birthday party.

The Doctor informs Jai and Rishi that there's no indication Eliza has had a seizure and questions if there is another way Eliza could've got the bruises. Pete finds Ross watching children's television surrounded by empty bottles of beer. He encourages Ross to leave the house but Ross doesn't want anyone staring at his scars. At the farm, Moira tells Cain that if he wants to move in permanently, he needs to start getting along with Faith.

Ross has scar check today and has also booked an appointment with a physiologist. Ruth Shepperton and DC Parker meet with Megan and Frank to discuss Eliza's bruises. DC Parker questions if the bruises could be the result of physical punishment but Megan insists she doesn't smack her daughter and neither does Jai.

Ross is suffering the effects of his heavy drinking last night. He concedes his behaviour was out of order. Pete throws the skin graft leaflets in front of Ross, suggesting he does something to help himself. Phil's face is plastered across the front page of the Hotten Courier alongside the headline "Blackmail Sex Shame by Local Man". Jacob realises Phil was blackmailing Tracy.

David considers rejigging the shop ahead of the meal with the Cavanaghs. Phil has changed his plea to guilty as someone else has come forward to complain about him. Jacob is delighted for Tracy and gives her a hug although David is still distant with his wife. Rishi had hoped Priya would change her mind about moving out but she's still determined to leave.

Emotional Tracy tells Vanessa and Charity that David is ashamed of her for her past as a prostitute. At Home Farm, Dean informs Joe that the kitchen camera was disabled by someone who isn't very good at covering their tracks.

Faith has spent the night in the village hall. At Keepers Cottage, Rebecca has forgotten Seb stayed with Robert last night and panics until Victoria reminds her where her son is. PC Stone appears to arrest Rebecca for breaking into Home Farm. Jacob isn't surprised Tracy left David but reminds David he can still make things up to his wife. Hungover Tracy has slept on the sofa at Tug Ghyll.

Gabby has managed to blag an invite for her and Liv to go to a party tomorrow night so they need to find a way to get hold of booze to take with them.

Daz catches Gabby with gin but Gabby threatens to tell Bernice he bought her alcohol if he says anything. Rebecca is devastated at the thought of having permanent brain damage. Belle offers Rebecca her support as she knows what it's like to not understand what's going on in your head. Gerry invites down in the dumps Tracy along to the Whingles Ale launch night at The Woolpack although she rejects him.

Liv has spent all night fretting about Lisa and is alarmed when Chas mentions Lisa has been in theatre all night due to complications. At the hospital, Zak blames himself for Lisa's collapse as they've been living in a half-demolished house. The Doctor informs the Dingles that Lisa is stable but discloses she had Ketamine in her system.

It's the day of Chas' termination. Paddy has taken the day off to support her but she insists there's no need. Ross and Pete head to the hospital ahead of Ross' skin graft operation. At Home Farm, Joe reveals to Graham that Debbie was behind the acid attack and he was the intended victim.

Debbie believes Simon will have told the police everything although Joe reveals he offered Simon £100k to keep her name out of things. Debbie refuses to be blackmailed by Joe so if Ross has to hear about her involvement in the acid attack, he'll hear it from her. Joe doubts Debbie will go through with telling Ross as it'll ruin her and her children's lives.

Jessie informs delighted Rhona that they've secured council funding so Leo can keep his teaching assistant. Moira mentions to preoccupied Debbie that she's going to visit Ross later and asks if she wants to come too. In the café, Daz makes jokes about Gabby trying to spike his drink as he serves Diane, Bernice and Gabby breakfast. Liv and Aaron are also having breakfast in the café.

Bernice storms round to the Mill with Gabby in tow demanding Liv starts talking about what happened to Lisa. Aaron and Robert try to pack Liv off to school but Bernice demands Liv admits the truth first. Joe encourages Debbie to ditch work so he can take her to lunch.

Charity still can't believe Debbie has reunited with Joe and berates her daughter for doing so, unaware she didn't have much choice. At the Mill, Aaron worries about Liv and orders his little sister to stay away from Gabby.

Debbie stares at the box containing the posh dress Joe bought her. Sarah spots the dress and inquires if it's for a date, telling her mum she wants her to be happy. Aaron receives a call from the police asking to take Liv to the station.

As yesterday didn't go as planned, Joe has another idea to win Debbie around. Cain does nothing as Debbie and Joe drive off together which frustrates Charity who questions if Joe has something on Cain too. In the café, April asks Jessie if she can take the school gerbil, Arnold, home.

Joe isn't afraid of Cain despite him being armed with a hammer. Moira is expecting to meet Cain in the pub for dinner. Charity suggests to Debbie that Cain is late as he's paid Joe a visit. Joe doubts Cain will do anything as he knows Debbie was responsible for Ross' attack.

Joe reveals to Graham that he visited Debbie last night and told her he'd keep her secret and also that he loved her and wanted her back. Graham orders Joe to stop moping after Debbie and do the right thing for once. In the shop, Priya encourages David to tell Tracy about the new living arrangements. Jacob isn't happy with his new housemate as he's still angry with Priya for betraying Leyla.

Priya badgers reluctant David to tell Tracy about the new living arrangements. Eric calls in at Farrers Barn to collect Amba and is surprised to learn Priya is staying. He also encourages David to speak with Tracy. Pete has bought Ross an orthopaedic cushion following his skin graft. Ross is less than impressed. Joe believes Debbie was going to take him back until she got the wrong idea about him and Priya.

Someone sneaks into the darkened shop and makes off with a life size cardboard cut-out of David. Jacob apologises to Priya for his behaviour yesterday. Before Jacob heads off to school, David asks him to keep his fling with Leyla under wraps. Vanessa returns to Tug Ghyll with the cardboard cut-out of David and suggests Tracy uses it to vent her anger but Tracy isn't up for it.

Tracy has removed her wedding ring. Ross plans to return to work on the farm and has bought the Lathams a bottle of whisky to apologise for yesterday. He's also started writing his victim's statement for the police. His new attitude impresses Pete, who asks to read the statement but Ross has only managed a line so far. Jimmy continues to struggle to juggle his two jobs.

Ross' car sits abandoned with the driver and front passenger doors wide open. David tries to make things up with Jacob but Jacob is in no mood to hear him out. Tracy receives an anonymous text.
